I've only just found out that Volodymyr Zelensky spoke by video link before the Libertines played the Other stage. A friend saw him. Wow, would have loved to have heard that.
Should have been on the Pyramid really imo. Greta Thunberg was (I was there for that one, quite an experience, sombre but moving and inspiring).

My wife asked if I wanted to go see Greta. I said that if I wanted to feel disapproved of by an earnest teenager I could have stayed home with the kids.

Fingers crossed! Yes I did but still managed not to meet you so hopefully next time.

And now we get to see how many of us caught Covid there, my mates are starting to test positive. There's gonna be loads aren't there, inevitable really.
I had Covid recently, it started 3 weeks before Glastonbury (caught it at Bearded Theory), but was fortunately recovered enough (just in time!) for it not to affect my festival. Doesn't mean I can't have caught it again though, I've heard of people who've got it twice in quick succession.
I didn't go in many indoor venues, just a couple, and they weren't very full. And this wasn't by design, just how it happened. But I still had loads of close contact/hugs, shared drinks/spliffs, and being squashed shoulder to shoulder in crowds. Hey ho. I decided not to let Covid really change much about how I do festivals, even though I'm still wearing a mask in shops (and seem to be about the only one lately).

Did a wee in Dirac's toilet
I can't believe I'm testing negative to be honest. The levels in the area I was working were high, I was in portacabins with other people for 10 days, and a (very huggy) friend I spent Wednesday night with tested positive on Friday. I was testing regularly on site and was always negative, then just tested myself again this morning and am still negative.

“Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand"
They got in as planned on Wednesday night, I haven't heard the story from them yet (they planned to have a telescopic ladder), but im wondering if the paramedic story going around was them as one of them has been doing this trick for years
impressed. I naively thought the big fence had killed off getting in without a ticket a long time ago.

Thanks!

The same rules apply
I think the over and under the fence is impossible now, needs to be more creative, heard about security brining people in through the disabled area for 2019 for a fee.....

Should be by pm by invitation to trusted parties. Else sensitive techniques are exposed, and loopholes will get closed.

Did the wristbands have QR codes on them this year?

Anger is Hi-NRG
Imelda May, Hothouses Flowers, Mary Coughlan Sinead O'Brien etc
Damn, wish was there to see them.

This - some of the forums I’ve been on for other things (manufactured spending to do with gaining air miles / hotel points) have seen their golden gooses killed due to mentioning them online because the forums are monitored by the gamekeepers as well as the poachers

I've a friend who manages to break in every year, even though she could easily get a crew ticket. I don't know the details, but apparently it does utilise her advanced circus skills

Yes. No move towards cashless. I used quite a bit of cash this year.

Just put the avalanches set on iplayer and it has a 'discriminatory language' warning at the start. Would that be because of the 'you're a nut you're crazy in the coconut' bit from frontier psychiatrist?
Edit: Guess not they didn't even play it!

Quite a lot of places were cash only, possibly because of the terrible mobile reception at certain times and in certain places.
